  • An Overview of My Internship with Congressman David Skaggs and How This Set a Course for My Career in Political Campaigning
    Erin Ainsworth Fish Summer 2016 Independent Study Course An overview of my internship with Congressman David Skaggs and how this set a course for my career in political campaigning. By my senior year at CU I had changed my major twice and had gone from dreaming of a career as a journalist and traveling the world working for National Geographic, to serving in the Peace Corp and teaching English in West Africa. I was all over the map as far as picking out a career for myself and couldn’t hone in on one area of interest. I excelled in foreign languages and history but there didn’t seem to be a job which I could envision in those areas and my father wasn’t too subtle about what he’d like me to pursue by sending me articles on beginning salaries for lawyers. He was a maritime lawyer and felt that the law was a perfect career. I had settled on a major in Political Science as I had always been interested in government and my mother was particularly active in local politics. She had a heavy influence on my knowledge of current affairs and our dinner conversations were about the war in Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini, the Civil Rights movement which she was passionate about, or we’d discuss the Kennedy assassinations and what that meant to her generation. Politics and American Government felt familiar to me and it seemed like a natural progression to major in political science. However I knew I didn’t want to pursue a career in the law and yet nothing stood out as an “aha!” job for me and with that came a constant level of anxiety.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. CAMPAIGN FINANCE: LIFE AS A POLITICAL CONSULTANT David Keene* Although being a political consultant is not nearly as exciting as Dick Morris' would have us believe, over the years it has proven very interesting. Therefore, when Joel Gora called and asked me to come here today, I agreed because we have both been involved in campaign reform policy discussions for many, many years. I do not wish to recount with you my perspectives "from the trenches," but instead, wish to discuss my personal biases. I was executive assistant to Senator Jim Buckley2 in the 1970s when we won an amendment allowing expedited review of the 1974 Campaign Finance Act and, subsequently, took the issue to the Supreme Court with the assistance of some of the people here. What I feel we accomplished at the Supreme Court was to force policymakers at that time, and even now, to realize that the First Amendment means something.

    Campaign Management: Political Consulting Firms (1) VIRGINIA: Political/Media Consultants for “Let’s Go Virginia” Campaign House Bill 2313 Bill Summary: Virginia delivered a five-year, $3.4 billion transportation investment bill that, among other changes, replaces the state’s gas tax with a sales tax on motor fuel. The legislature passed the bill in March, and Governor McDonnell (R) signed this overhaul of the transportation funding system into law in May. The new law scraps the gas tax, raises the sales tax, establishes a tax on wholesale gas and diesel, and charges registration fees for hybrid, electric and alternative-fuel vehicles. “Let’s Go Virginia” Campaign: The Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA) hired Public Opinion Strategies and Frederick Polls for political consulting and polling services to support the 2013 transportation legislation in the legislature.

  • WHY COMPETITION in the POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA a Strategy for Reinvigorating Our Democracy
    SEPTEMBER 2017 WHY COMPETITION IN THE POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA A strategy for reinvigorating our democracy Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter ABOUT THE AUTHORS Katherine M. Gehl, a business leader and former CEO with experience in government, began, in the last decade, to participate actively in politics—first in traditional partisan politics. As she deepened her understanding of how politics actually worked—and didn’t work—for the public interest, she realized that even the best candidates and elected officials were severely limited by a dysfunctional system, and that the political system was the single greatest challenge facing our country. She turned her focus to political system reform and innovation and has made this her mission. Michael E. Porter, an expert on competition and strategy in industries and nations, encountered politics in trying to advise governments and advocate sensible and proven reforms. As co-chair of the multiyear, non-partisan U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School over the past five years, it became clear to him that the political system was actually the major constraint in America’s inability to restore economic prosperity and address many of the other problems our nation faces. Working with Katherine to understand the root causes of the failure of political competition, and what to do about it, has become an obsession. DISCLOSURE This work was funded by Harvard Business School, including the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness and the Division of Research and Faculty Development. No external funding was received. Katherine and Michael are both involved in supporting the work they advocate in this report.

  • Federal Election Commission Washington, D.C. 20463
    FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20463 ADVISORY OPINION 2016-21 (GREAT AMERICA PAC) CONCURRING STATEMENT OF VICE CHAIR CAROLINE C. HUNTER AND COMMISSIONERS LEE E. GOODMAN AND MATTHEW S. PETERSEN Today, the Commission issued an advisory opinion to Great America PAC addressing the PAC’s proposal to employ people previously employed by a candidate or political party to engage in door-to-door canvassing and phone-banking. The legal question was whether their work for the PAC would constitute “coordinated communications” under 11 C.F.R. § 109.21. See Advisory Opinion 2016-21. As footnote 3 in the advisory opinion explains, “[t]he Commission could not agree whether door-to-door canvassing would constitute a ‘public communication’ under 11 C.F.R. § 100.26 and therefore whether such activity could constitute a coordinated communication under 11 C.F.R. § 109.21.” The Commission’s longstanding position, however, is that door-to-door canvassing is not a “public communication” under 11 C.F.R. § 100.26, and therefore does not constitute a “coordinated communication” under 11 C.F.R. § 109.21. Congress defined the term “public communication” as “a communication by means of any broadcast, cable, or satellite communication, newspaper, magazine, outdoor advertising facility, mass mailing, or telephone bank to the general public, or any other form of general public political advertising.”1 “The forms of mass communication enumerated in the definition of ‘public communication[,]’ . including television, radio, and newspapers, each lends itself to distribution of content through an entity ordinarily owned or controlled by another person.”2 Accordingly, “for an individual to communicate with the public using any of the forms of media listed by Congress, he or she must ordinarily pay an intermediary (generally a facility owner) for access to the public through that form of media each time he or she wishes to make a communication.”3 Door-to-door canvassing is fundamentally different.

  • Canvassing 101 Steps to Successful Canvassing: • Set a Designated Time
    Canvassing 101 Steps to successful canvassing: Set a designated time to canvass each week – one to two days at a minimum (remember to keep an eye on your budget – your canvassing cost must fit within your allotted expense budget). Time blocking is your friend! Review merchandising plan prior to canvassing to form strategy around what uses or categories you are targeting in each trip. (Note, while you may have a specific target for each canvassing trip, keep your mind and your eyes open for those hidden gems that will pop out of now-where that may not be on your “target” list. Keep a global perspective while executing on a focused agenda.) Pick an area that you will canvass thoroughly and give yourself enough time to talk with retailers or mall as media prospects. Areas to prospect/canvass: o Other malls o Strip Centers (for retail, service use or mall as media) o Downtown retailers o Stand- alone buildings or home businesses (Do not canvass home businesses in person – google them and reach out via phone, email or website. Do not show up at someone’s home unannounced or place yourself in any uncomfortable or unsafe situations by being in someone’s home alone). o Office buildings (great prospects for mall as media – they often have limited visibility and may be seeking affordable ways to get the word out) o Craft shows (google craft shows, craft show promoters, etc. for your city and your state – keep in mind that they travel in circuits so even if something is not in your immediate trade area does not mean they will not travel to your market.) o Expos (of all types) o Billboards, newspapers, local magazines, bathroom advertising, airport advertising and social media are all good platforms to canvass for mall as media advertising prospects o Networking events .
